So in lieu of the usual verbiage (you’re welcome) I’m going to toss up a handful of recent photos. For certain reasons which will remain unstated I will have to rely on what’s…

I have that familiar urge, that primal passion I share with the painters of Lasceaux and the mercenaries of Kandahar, the throbbing drive that compels us all, to blog a little something. I’ve…
I continue to get a fair share of my paltry few visitors as the result of their search for “Elky Summers”. You youngsters may not know that that’s a crappy grandpa pun about…
I hopped the bus a little late last week and had to sit way in the back, but at least I still got an in-facing bench. The back is where the action is, I told myself - where the young people congregate…
So there’s this guy - I’ll tell you about him: the Grubby Groper of Outer Geary. I don’t know if he’s an inspiration or an exasperation to me, a cautionary tale or a mythic…
I have another grubby Geary story for you but I don’t think I’m going to sit around this evening typing it up before I go home. Maybe later on tonight? O you should be so lucky,…
I have been having a delightful time, sleeping in and overeating and partaking of various other excesses. I’ll bring the photos and quips soon enough, for my own gratification and memories…
technical notes:
* I’ve changed my email setting so it might (*MIGHT*) be easier to send me an email via the “about” page. The preceding was stated because I like the…
Some writings can stand a bit of aging - they don’t need to be thrust down your eyeballs right away. The Geary Blvd Stories turn out to be in that category; I’ll finish that series…
So here’s the deal: I’ve got two sets of photos. They’re both cool, but it’s too much for me to post all at once. However, one of those photosets is about to go stale,…
SO: funny thing. No, the trip to Seoul was great - coming and going, especially the return flight with the two best and sweetest kids on the plane. In Korea we ate some great food, stayed…
Here are two lists, because my life right now seems to consist mainly of identifying things that need to be done and then doing them. SO:
LIST 1: baked goods that are now in residence…
I’m still conflicted about talking about Korea until I can deal with the photos - either knowing they’re gone or showing you the wonders of the Mr Wow shop or the Abe Lincoln graffiti or…
Sure there are a lot of cute and meaningful things I could write about what’s been happening around here over the past few weeks. But I’m just not ready for that yet, can you dig…
Technically, it’s been a week since I last posted - that’s about as long as I like to let things sit around here at the hut. “Technically,” I go back to work tomorrow after…
We passed them on the Golden Gate Bridge, driving north on a brilliant cloudless day. We weren’t going very fast, so they must have been down around 30 mph in the far right lane, well slower…
We’re getting back into the groove now - a handful of stories and snippets are already long-handed into the ol’ notebook, I’ve got more writing time now that I’m back riding…
Today let’s start with a brief homage to Senior (with an enye, not like about to graduate) Posted on Jan. 14, 2009 • [3] • print
This guy is an old-timer; I’ve seen him out there for years and years, and it looks to me as if he’d been out there quite some time before he ever came to my attention. His skin is…
I think the germ of the idea that compels me now to put pen to paper (I am transcribing this you see) was in an article in the Washington Post some months back, about a man who’d been a butler…
You’ve been very patient. Here’s your candy:
In Seoul, almost nothing looks like it’s been there since the Silla Dynasty - because it hasn’t. The ancientest…
I was once a meme whore but I am significantly recovered. I rarely now, if ever, respond to email- or blog-borne proposals that I engage in some activity that everybody else is doing too for no…
I’m still working through the many photos we took in Seoul and I figured, since I’m uploading while lunching, I’ll just share the Food and Restaurant photos and see how far that takes…
We’ve had a good time, have we not, laving our eyeballs in the beauty and curiosity of a city big enough to eat my own home town and still be hungry enough to enjoy a good brunch afterwards. …
okay you voracious blogsuckers, you’ve seen all the photos I’m going to post - but I have a few images left to share. Images to share, you wonder, without photos? Is he MAD? …
I’ve mentioned the Green Dolphin shirt here before, but I’d almost prefer if you didn’t remember it - that would suggest you’re paying too much attention, and I can’t take…
It has been said that everything old is new again, but never before has it seemed more true than now - and I mean, never in the history of the planet, with which I enjoy an unrivaled personal familiarity. …
My recollection is that being six years old was a complicated affair. I understood some things well enough; some others confused me or seemed inexplicable though so generally accepted as to preclude…
* Why do you even do those things, anyway? * It’s fun. * Really? Looks hella boring. * No, it’s good. It relaxes me. And it’s so satisfying…
